Flashback Friday: My First 5K Ever

It got me thinking about my first 5K, so that's why this is our flashback today.

Before Weight Watchers I had never considered myself to be very good at sports of any kind. Sure I like to swim, but there were not any sports that appealed to me competitively.

Two years ago I was halfway through my weight loss journey when Weight Watchers launched its first annual Walk-!t Challenge. For six weeks all Weight Watchers members were supposed to record the miles that we walked in order to train for the upcoming 5K that we were all welcomed to participate in.

What a great inspiration! It IS great to find exercise you love. I, too, "accidentally" found out that I love running. Now I just need to stop trying to compete with my husband who is up to 16 miles on his long runs. I'll stick with the 5Ks myself. I haven' quite worked up past there.

Hi Jennifer! Thanks for joining me on blogfrog - come and say hi at www.caminosantiago2012.blogspot.com - I'm planning to walk 780km in Spain next year. I'll be following the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage that pilgrims have walked for a thousand years. Who knows, that might be something you might enjoy doing as well!!

I look forward to reading your future posts and well done with your efforts, you look amazing!
